About Me
Long time sufferer of wanderlust, and although I've tried to remedy it on many occasions, symptoms only seem to increase!
PHILOSOPHY
Here for a good time not a long time
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've hosted a good few people now and its such a great idea.. First read about it on an Easyjet flight to Copenhagen. Met lots of interesting people through this site; Goes to show how good an idea this place is ! Great to see my friends on here after I referred them! Good Couchsurfing experiences include Playing frizbee at lake Michigan @ 3am with Jimmy; Kayaking in Toronto harbour at night with Nina; Driving along the south coast of Portugal with Ricardo
Interests
Travelling, Be it backpacking, going to a beach it doesnt matter! Seeing new places, meeting new people and having a good time! But when I can't get away from it all I like to go out with my friends - paintballing, go karting, Mountain Biking, Hiking, anything that's interesting, fun, different, exciting!
